My friend William "Mockingbird" is remarkably beautiful.
It also saddened my heart too, however it very well written.

Semper Fi,

Beautiful poem, William. Another Mockingbird poem I think you'd like is "Bird Song at Mourning" by Leo Durrant. --Charlie

great poetic appreciation of nature william, I'm the same way, I love to see the big Canadian geese flying in formation, and the little ducks wobbling around. Taking a walk in the woods in the summer and hearing all the birds sing does something for the heart and soul. The animals seem to play like there's no tomorrow. I don't like pigeons because of how nasty they can do you roof. But I watch them fly in circles going nowhere just simply enjoying their wings, I always tell my wife,look at those dumb birds flying in a circle like crazy, going nowhere. Then I join in by using the same principle, enjoying what God has given me, I get to having some fun, smiling, laughing and dancing. When my wife and I go out the little kid in me takes the steering wheel but he knows not to be taking us anywhere theres stupidity or trouble, just good clean fun

Sad and beautiful poem!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Sad when things we love are gone.
Never take them for granted.
Truly a write of sadness.
--RaeLynn

I feel this mocking bird is a methaphore for something deeper........
this is very symbolic pax A

The loss of even one bird is noticed by God, and by those like you with pure souls.

Sad, but more birds will follow.
Wonderful pen William.
Ron

Silence forever more,,, very sad write, Beautifully composed.

I tell you what.. those darn screaching, huge, rudely noisy seagulls around here sure are 'mocking' birds.
Sad write, William, but still beautifully penned!
Love,

It is always sad when one's song is silenced forever...great write William.

Powerfully penned, my friend. Every dead bird I see always saddens my soul.

What a shame that we are now cheated of beautiful music to our ears.Thank you for sharing William.

You have me misty eyed here. Beautiful piece.

awe...now you've done it William, making me cry. Sincere words
of sadness you have penned, always enjoy your writings, new or revised...Hugs and Love, Peggy

...when music has gone silent...so does life...as a birds wing...without movement...becomes a symphony lost.
well written sense of sadness William...
John

I can recall reading a book about Killing a Mockingbird but I don't recall reading about feathers....oh well!!!
The dead of anything for no apparent reasons seems an insult to the Creation of Life...

Georg

this write is sad but a tribute to a lovely creature

A beautiful, territorial bird. As Karla stated, our Texas State Bird that warbles many sweet songs. I concur with your sadness on seeing the dead Mockingbird; yet, this is a beauty of a poem, William, that reveals your deeply caring heart.

I miss the songs of the Mockingbird. They have a repetiore of about 40 different songbirds and they use them all as a mating call. I know how it feels to miss the lilt of a Mockingbird. If there are any in Florida they aren't from around here. Just the beauty of the stilted birds and they have one thing in common...they sound like an old crabby man.

Blessings and love,
Susan

:( This is a sad one, William, I saw a happy Mockingbird - singing its little heart out - leaping when it hit a really high note - I love Mockingbirds. Did you know they're Texas' State Bird? An excellent poem, but like I said, sad ... well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
